Relevant Files

Refrence graphs of DeepStream SDK 6.0 are installed and many of them work fine following the instructions in README files.

Steps To Reproduce

  • Fresh install of Xavier NX with JetPack 4.6
  • Install DeepStream SDK 6
  • Install Graph Composer runtime for Jetson
  • Install Graph Composer reference apps
  • Install triton prerequisites for triton reference graph
  • Run the below:
cd /opt/nvidia/deepstream/deepstream-6.0/reference_graphs/deepstream-triton

/opt/nvidia/graph-composer/execute_graph.sh deepstream-triton.yaml deepstream-triton.parameters.jetson.yaml -d target_triton_aarch64.yaml

The following is emitted to the terminal and the error messages are near the end of the snippet below:

Can you run “gst-inspect-1.0 nvinferserver” in your device? What is the output?

I got:

No such element or plugin 'nvinferserver'

I even tried to run the triton backend setup found in README once again but still the same response above.

Running registry extn list shows an entry named NvDsTritonExt so not sure why gstreamer does not recognise it.

You need to install NVIDIA® Triton Inference Server (previously called TensorRT Inference Server) Release 2.13.0 to make nvinferserver workable. Gst-nvinferserver — DeepStream 6.1.1 Release documentation

Are you working with docker container? If yes, which one?

I tried to use containers but faced some issues as well so would like to stick with classic host execution. The instructions of that refrence graph README have something about installing Triton backend which I presume is Triton Inference Server. So not sure why to do another explicit install.

The script at line 49 above grabs a copy of v2.13 from github

Do I need to compile Triton Inference server on jetson device or the above script pulls the required binaries ?

Maybe the plugin is blacklisted somehow

If you are sure the triton backend is intalled correctly. Please use “rm -rf ~/.cache/gstreamer-1.0/” to clear the gstreamer registry table and run “gst-inspect-1.0 nvinferserver” again.

Thanks @Fiona.Chen

Clearing gstreamer cache and then running registry repo sync -n ngc-public fixed the problem of triton gstreamer plugin being blacklisted.

So the error in this thread title has been bypassed now but I got a different Triton error related to memory allocation

ERROR: Triton: failed to create repo server, triton_err_str:Not found, err_msg:unable to load backend library: /usr/lib/aarch64-linux-gnu/libgomp.so.1: cannot allocate memory in static TLS block

Here is the full trace.

Sorry I did not google the error first, README file has some hints about this issue on Jetson.

I will give it a go.

It finally worked 😃

Frame rate of the output is around 6fps. I can imagine Triton would be a bit slower than TRT plus the fact of using a bigger model (ssd_inception_v2_coco_2018_01_28). Still was hoping to get something faster than that but neverthless happy it’s working now.

Thank you so much.
